And, indeed, B::Deparse shows it to be so:

C:\@Work\Perl\monks
>perl -Mstrict -Mwarnings -MO=Deparse,-p
my ($u, $v) = split /,/, 'U,V';
print "'$u' '$v' \n";
(my $w, my $x) = split /,/, 'W,X';
print "'$w' '$x' \n";
^Z
use warnings;
use strict 'refs';
(my($u, $v) = split(/,/, 'U,V', 3));
print("'${u}' '${v}' \n");
(my($w, $x) = split(/,/, 'W,X', 3));
print("'${w}' '${x}' \n");
- syntax OK

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
